How to Make Air Fryer Hot Dogs
Step 1:Preheat the Air FryerStart by preheating your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
Step 2:Prepare the Hot DogsWhile the air fryer is preheating,prepare your hot dogs. If you prefer them with a bit more texture and surface area for crisping,you can make shallow cuts diagonally across the hot dogs. This not only helps them cook more evenly but also gives them a unique look.
Step 3:Cooking:Once the air fryer is preheated,place the hot dogs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they’re not touching,to allow the air to circulate freely around them for an even cook. Cook for about 5-7 minutes. If you like them extra crispy,you can add another minute or two but keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
Step 4:Take any leftover over chili and spoon it over hot dog (with bun inside) and top with melted cheese. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
Tips for Air Fryer Hot Dogs
Warm the Buns (Optional):If you enjoy warm,slightly toasted buns with your hot dogs,you can add the buns to the air fryer during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Just open the air fryer,place the buns inside (you can put them directly with the hot dogs if there’s space),and close it back up to let them warm through.
Assemble and Serve:Once the hot dogs and buns are ready,carefully remove them from the air fryer. Place each hot dog in a bun and add your favorite toppings. Whether you’re a fan of the classics like mustard and ketchup,or like to dress them up with relish,onions,sauerkraut,cheese,or anything else,now’s the time to make them your own.
What to Servewith Hot Dogs
Firstly,choose your hot dogs wisely. There are many varieties available,from all-beef franks to turkey,chicken sausage in air fryer,bratwurst in air fryer,and even vegetarian options. Consider your audience’s preferences and dietary restrictions when selecting. Before serving,cook the hot dogs to perfection. Boiling,grilling,and pan-frying are popular methods. Grilling adds a smoky flavor that is especially irresistible during outdoor events. Ensure they’re cooked through but avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming dry or split.
Buns:Presentation is key when serving hot dogs. Start with high-quality,fresh buns or choose your favorite from a local bakery.
Condiments:Classics include ketchup,mustard,relish,and onions,but don’t hesitate to get creative with options like sauerkraut,chili,cheese,coleslaw,jalapeños,or avocado slices.
Setting up a condiment station allows guests to customize their hot dogs to their liking,making the meal interactive and fun.
